Auditions

I didn’t do any auditions however, I did choose my actors based on previous auditions, videos and experience.

Aaron

Rahsaan

Rahsaan volunteered to act for me because Jason was an unreliable actor so he didn’t audition he just showed up and acted. His acting is spectacular, he told me that he has been doing theatre in university and in my opinion, they’re teaching has paid off because he was great. I couldn’t have asked for a better actor, he was professional, asked questions when necessary, came on time, learnt the script really quickly and also followed my directions. Plus, I think that he portrayed my character (Aaron) really well.

Jason

I think that Jason did well in this video, however, he did need a lot direction from me and he was a bit stiff with his delivery. I think that I could give him acting advice to help him on the day, on the hand, it may hinder the intensity need for my movie because I need someone who can be the psycho that I need. I’m going to give him a chance, maybe if he practices and learns the lines more than he will be better. Unfortunately, he was unreliable and had to be replaced, the information is located in my diary (click here to read).

Kelly

Carla

Carla offered to assist me in my final major project when Sharday decided to not participate anymore, details are in my diary (click here). She is my best friend and she was willing to do it, in addition to that I chose Carla because of the last project she had acted in for me (unit 12 which is the video above) and I thought she was amazing. I’m glad that offered to help me out because I think that she will do a phenomenal job in my final major project as Kelly. Lastly, I like how professional she is and how fast she can remember lines.

Sharday

This video shows you Sharday’s acting and I think that she is a great actor, that is why I chose her to be Kelly. I think that she would great as Kelly because she looks the part of can act the part as well. Also, in past experiences, she has been reliable so that is a bonus. Sharday is not Kelly anymore due to her being unreliable (click here for my information). Carla is now Kelly.

Lily

Rosina

This audition was from Unit 8 however, I think based on this video and other performances that I have seen Rose do since then. I feel that she will be amazing as Lily. I think that I have made the right decision in casting her, I believe that she will deliver.

Natasha

I really liked this video ‘Self Image’ because it was performed really well and I believed in what she was trying to sell, a female who is self-conscious about her appearance. I really enjoyed watching this video and I think that she would great as Lily or Kelly, however, I think that I decided that Rose is Lily and Sharday is Kelly. I could have her as a backup, an understudy.

Courtney

Isabella

I chose Isabella because I think that she would be great as Courtney. She is a good actor, her and Sharday are best friends so it wouldn’t be awkward and she suits the character really well. Furthermore, I have seen her act in Maria’s short films such as come play with me and 12 minutes along with my short film Too Much. I think she would be a great addition to my cast and film. Unfortunately, due to her unreliable nature, she is not going to Courtney, Patricia is. This is explained my diary (click here).

Patricia

Patricia was suggested by Carla and she was willing to help me out she was the waitress in my unit 12 film (shown above) and she was great. Even though she only had a small part, she did well and she was very composed and great to work with. I think that she will be in my current film.

Stranger

Stephanie (myself)

I will be the stranger because I do not have any other people to help me. Eryk offered to help me but I told him to go, it is explained why in my diary (click here).

Conclusion

I think that I made the right decisions I picking the actors for my film. I think that some of the actors I initially chose (Sharday,Isabella & Jason) weren’t as good as the actors I have in my final major project (Rahsaan , Carla, Patricia and Rose) and I think that these are the type of people who I will be using for future projects. I didn’t replace Rose because is reliable but the others were not. I will never use them again and that is the way it has to be if you want to process and succeed.
